E-Mail from HTC europe

i received this e-mail this weekend in regards to my breeze always dropping calls. it refers to a new update but only via the support centre
Good Morning,
?
The fact that your calls drops is?not normal, if it does that you should try
to Hard reset the device.
If the hard reset doesn't sort the issue you will need to send the phone to
repair.
Note: hard reset will delete all data from the device, you need to save your
personnal files and synchronize your device first.
I can confirm we have recently released a new ROM update for the Mteor.
?
Due to the complex nature of this ROM update we will not be offering this
download via our website. Instead we are offering it through our network of
repair centres.
?
From the information you have provided your local repair centre are:

does anyone know what the turn around time from being received to being sent out from HTC is?
in regards to a software update and a repair/replacement which would include any tests they'ed need to do.
thanks

HI, just try to deactivate the Umts Bandselection... means don't choose Auto .... just try GSM only....
i have Problems to when have activated the AUTO feature...
steve

i have done, thought it fixed it for a whole day aswell, however it seems to make it happen less but it still happens a few times a day

well got the phone back, they actually replaced it so got a new 1 out of the mix and the fact i bought it off ebay second hand - bonus!
the dropping of calls still occurs but it seems its the 3G orange payg sim i have. i will try and get a new one out of orange on saturday and see if that works, i know its the sim as i tried a orange 2G payg sim and it has no problems whatsoever
so its oranges fault and HTC's for not making it work correctly with the sim.
Dan

No new rom on it then? ;p

the rom had a .3 at the end of it instead of .1
the radio was the same too.

My MTeoR arrived today. I also have a "3G sim" or whatever they are.. the one that came with my Nokia N95. That same sim has worked perfectly in my E50 for the past three months, but in the MTeoR I am frequently being disconnected during calls, and even when the phone is off-call, the display changed from "3G Orange" to "No Service" quite frequently.
This is no good

wow, i know it doesn't help its nice to know its not just me breaking the phone like i seem to do to everything electrical
by the way t-mobile, vodafone sims i have work fine in 3g mode, its obviously a orange problem. i have e-mailed them again asking if its a common problem. all i can say is you do the same and maybe our collective voices will be heard.

Could this be the AT&T Tilt?

I grabbed this link from Howardforums.com!
Link: http://www.negrielectronics.com/product_info.php?products_id=501

Thats the unbranded version same phone just no cingular crap.

That's the Kaiser. The site just took a normal picture of the HTC Kaiser and labeled it the 8925. The 8925/Tilt will probably say ATT on it and depending on the version it won't have the htc home plugin (Based on rumours) and it may not have the video camera.

HTC Victor / T-Mobile MDA Compact IV Original Service Manual

Hi,
Anybody have Service Manual for HTC Victor / T-Mobile MDA Compact IV?
I searched forum and wiki.xda-developers.com and found only Service Manual for HTC Diamond / O2 HDA Diamond/Ignito. But that is slightly different. Service Manual HTC Diamond covers models DIAM100/120/130/140/300.
But HTC Victor is DIAM200. And have different body inside.
I know that may be main info about hardware and spare parts numbers may be covered by presented Diamond service manual, but I think better to have original Service manual for HTC Victor.
Anybody may help?

I need this Service Manual !!
I need to repair the touch screen. I order a replacemente kit by Brando.
HELP !

hi mate,
did you find this? i need a copy and can't find it anywhere - their this or instructions on how to remove the screen...
I canfind lots on the diamond, but the MDA IV is a different model.
Cheers

Try sending MikeChannon a PM, he has a lot of them on his site, but sadly no Victor
His site is www.mikechannon.net
Thanks
Dave

yeah thanks had had a look through, will drop him a line
really annoying as i can get most of the back off, but there seems to be a central pin next to the sim slot (which had a void sticker on it) which doesnt seem to have a thread on - so i cant get it off!

you might find this helpful

anyone have success?
Bought new digitizer and now I cannot change it ;(.
I have a same problem that cannot open central pin.
Diamond original manual have no use in this case.

Htc touch HD from O2

Hi
I have a questions to all the people have a touch HD from o2 , is the rom from o2 with branding ?
I have a touch HD FROM O2 but no where I can read the O2 BRANDING as I have in the touch diamond ...
regards

The only visible thing that O2 has changed would be the homezone icon.

what is this home zone ?

From http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2056
"Homezone is based on a standard GSM cellular phone only, no cordless equipment is required or used. While you are on the road, you can make phone calls with your mobile phone as with every mobile phone, also you are available under the o2 mobile number. Outbound calls are charged with the normal tariff, which is, more or less equal, too the other mobile tariffs, available from other operators.
However, if you enter your "Homezone", an area which you can define within the o2 coverage and which is att least 500 square meters, your outgoing mobile phone calls will be charged with a fixed net equal tariff. But it's even more: in addition you get a fixed net phone number like for Munich "089-2500 xxxx". This means for everyone who wants to call you, that they can use the cheaper fixed net number instead the mobile phone number."
To know when you are in your homezone, the phone displays a little home icon in the top left, where you normally find the date on other ROMs.
Hope that clarifies things a bit.
Regards
K_Hismoom

thanks K_Hismoom
I did not know about it ,,,
so, Does it means the Rom is not a standard one ?
if comes a new ROM from HTC , can I use it ? or I need to wait for the O2 to release one ?

Problem With SkyMobile TV

Hi guys…
Bit of a desperate first post!
Picked up a HTC Diamond Touch last week locked to Orange and unlocked it using Olinex’s solution on here…
Now, I’ve put my T-Mobile SIM and all is working fine… calls, mobile internet… everything…
Well, everything but SkyMobile TV…
The HTC Touch Diamond on Orange supports SkyMobile TV… and the equivalent phone, MDA Compact IV on T-Mobile also supports the SkyMobile TV app… put the T-Mobile SIM into the HTC Touch Diamond however and it’s a different issue! The website says it's not a compatible handset... go figure
From searching there’s about a post and a half from a year or so back now that just kind of died a death… the guy who responded mentioned changing the user agent in the Opera browser, but didn’t quite know what the correct user agent was, lol…
Now, I’m reluctant to flash (I’ll have to, right?) and install the T-Mobile ROM given the bloatware it comes with… but I’m really kind of eager to get Sky Mobile TV on the phone and make those commutes into work a little more bearable!
All help, greatly appreciated!

Problem solved for all those that care, lol...
Went into the opera:config screen and changed the browser user agent to a T-Mobile compatible one... used MDA Compact IV since that's the T-Mobile HTC Diamond equivalent
